Method Detail

init

void init(ISharedObjectConfig initData)
          throws SharedObjectInitException

Initialize this ISharedObject. The ISharedObjectContainer for this ISharedObject must call this method with a non-null instance of ISharedObjectConfig. ISharedObject implementations can use this initialization to perform any initialization necessary prior to receiving any events (via handleEvent/s). Note that the ISharedObjectContext provided via the ISharedObjectConfig.getSharedObjectContext() method is not guaranteed to allow any method calls until after this init() method call has completed.

Parameters:

initData - the initialization data passed by the ISharedObjectContainer upon initialization

Throws:

SharedObjectInitException - thrown by ISharedObject to halt initialization. ISharedObjectContainers must respond to such an exception by halting the addition of the ISharedObject instance and treating it as not in the container.

handleEvent

void handleEvent(Event event)

Handle Event passed to this IEventHandler.

Parameters:

event - the Event for the implementer to handle

handleEvents

void handleEvents(Event[] events)

Handle Events passed to this IEventHandler.

Parameters:

events - the Events [] for the implementer to handle

dispose

void dispose(ID containerID)

Method called by the ISharedObjectContainer upon ISharedObject destruction. Once this method is called, no more Events will be passed to a ISharedObject until the init method is called again.

Parameters:

containerID - the ID of the container that is disposing this ISharedObject
